session eighteen hundred and ninety of the General

Assembly of Maryland, chapter 130, entitled " an act to

provide for the purchase and construction of water works

for the town of Frostburg, in Allegany County, and to

authorize the mayor and councilmen of said town to issue

bonds to pay the cost thereof," empowering the mayor and

councilmen of said town to issue additional bonds to com-

plete said water works, and to amend said act by abol-

ishing the " Frostburg Water Board " provided for therein,

Whereas, chapter 130 of the acts of Assembly of the year

eighteen hundred and ninety, the mayor and councilmen

of Frostburg are authorized to issue the bonds of said

town to an amount not exceeding $40,000.00, and with the

proceeds thereof to provide said town with water by the

purchase or construction of water works ; and whereas,

the Frostburg Water Board created by that act has con-

structed said works which are no win operation, but have

exhausted the fund provided by the sale of said bonds in

the construction of the same ; and whereas, it is estimated

that it will still require a large sum to properly complete

and equip said works so as to afford all the inhabitants of

said town with an adequate and constant supply of water ;

ing and equipping said water works will be finished in

councilmen of said town as herein provided ; therefore,
